Herbie 1964 #8 - .5 - $3.50

Fat Fury in flight.

The giant Mr. Horrible is a one-man crime wave, leaving Senator Goldwater and President Johnson at wits end. To help out, Herbie enrolls in a superhero school to become a licensed costume hero. Herbie did not graduate, and when his father threatened to become a costume hero, Herbie created the Fat Fury. Not a licensed, graduate hero, but he'd do. He wore red flannel underwear, a blue cape, a blue mask and a plunger on his head. Bare feet! The Fat Fury rescues the Statue of Liberty and defeats Mr. Horrible.

An original comic story incorporating two preview panels from the next issue.

Nellie tries everything, but can't get a date. She is stopped for speeding and is over-joyed to get a date to see the judge.

Herbie goes back in time to settle a dispute about how the US Revolutionary War started.
